Edgecast Media Produce The Clare FM Breakfast Show

Starting Monday, September 8th, Edgecast Media will take on responsibility for the production of The Breakfast Show on Clare FM, the number one radio station in County Clare with over 61,000 weekly listeners acording to the latest research.

The new show marks a return to familiar territory for company founder Conn Ó Muíneacháin, who will produce and present the new show. Having worked for Clare FM in the 90s, he has kept in touch with the station over the years. When Edgecast Media was founded as an independent production company in 2006, Clare FM was among the stations which broadcast its first BCI-funded series, An Líonra Sóisialta.

This announcement heralds the start of an extremely busy season for Edgecast Media. September also sees the launch of Eureka!, a 12-part series in Irish for RTÉ Raidio na Gaeltachta, which will focus on science for kids. Work is also underway on two other projects: a single episode documentary to be broadcast on Clare FM at Christmas, and a 6-part series for Tipp FM in the new year.
